Experimental support for WebExtensions (in gecko-target mode). Please note that some Mozilla-specific WebExtension APIs are not yet available.

Support for ALSA on Linux.

Support for WebAssembly (WASM).

Support for advanced Graphite font shaping features.

Support for modern web cryptography: up to TLS 1.3, modern ciphers, HSTS, etc.

Important differences with Mozilla Firefox:

Uses Goanna as a layout and rendering engine. Goanna behaves slightly differently than Gecko in certain respects and may result in different display of web pages. e.g.: Goanna renders gradients in a more accurate color space (non-premultiplied).

Builds on UXP, our XUL platform in development. As such XUL is alive and well in this browser and will not be deprecated.

Has some long-standing known issues with the Mozilla code-base fixed (e.g. CVE-2009-1232).

Does not use Rust or the Photon user interface. You can expect a familiar interface as-carried by Firefox between v29 and v56.

Just installed the browser myself to post here with it and test it out. I am able to access about:config and the location bar after installing CTR.Perhaps a clean install with a brand new profile(without the backup of your CTR settings created in FF ESR52.5.)And then try to change the CTR settings in the browser after that.

Damn! I just discovered what for me is a big No-No. Basilisk changes the context menu whereby users are forced to use DuckDuckGo to search with: I have a lot of custom search engines I use for translation work and don't need to use a search engine to find them. In the above image I intended to go directly to the Mozilla extensions site to take a look at that particular extension. Pity.

Stupid mistake here on my part. I forgot to install an extension called Context Search which provides the ability to search with other engines besides the one set at default.

I think that's just because DuckDuckGo is the default search engine. I have it set as default in Firefox 58 and I see the same context menu as you.
